The Mental Breakdown episodes

  • Resiliency and Identity (TMB120)


    If we step back, take off our political, religious, or even judgmental glasses for a moment, most of us would agree that there are individuals who demonstrate tremendous resilience. Hillary Clinton could have easily disappeared following the embarrassment she endured during her husband's second term as president. Stephen Hawking could have easily thrown in the towel as his medical condition slowly immobilized him. Instead, Ms. Clinton went on to become a Senator and ran two valiant campaigns to be the first female president; and Dr. Hawking has become one of the principal thinkers in the fields of cosmology and physics. What makes them - and many others - so resilient?


    On today's podcast, Dr. Berney and Dr. Richard discuss the relationship between resilience and identity. They propose the idea that as we formulate our identity, we are better able to manage adversity and disappointment. If so, what does this hold for treatment of depression and anxiety?

  • TGIF (TMBMS085)


    Welcome to The Mental Breakdown Morning Show! Each weekday morning, we will to help get your day off to a great start. In the age of social media and 140 character limits, deep - and arguably philosophical - statements are made through the use of acronyms. This week, we focus on some common acronyms that could help shape our lives. Today, we focus our attention on TGIF (Thank Goodness It's Friday), which offers us two lessons. First, we are reminded that it is important to have down time, to look forward to the weekend as a time to refresh, recoup, and recharge ourselves. But TGIF is also a warning to avoid the tendency to focus so much on tomorrow, that we miss out on opportunities today. Don't wish your life away by dreaming about Friday on Sunday night.


    Our schedule will be as follows:

    Monday - Weekday Start-up

    Tuesday - Mental Health in the News

    Wednesday - Questions from Listeners

    Thursday - Brown Bag

    Friday - Weekend Wind-down

    We hope that you will join us each morning so that we can help you make your day the best it can be! See you tomorrow.
